Standard Releases and Volunteer Acknowledgment
Standard standard releases and the standard volunteer acknowledgment are documents that have been approved for use by the President, appropriate Vice President, and the Office of the General Counsel. There are currently six standard releases and one standard volunteer acknowledgment which have been approved for use.
Information Regarding Standard Releases
- Standard Releases. The Office of the General Counsel has created or updated standard releases for use for the majority of routine University activities. As a result, please discard any prior releases that you have previously been using.
- Specific Risks. Each of the standard releases requires that the Sponsor, Organizer or Operator identify all the foreseeable risks that will be involved in the activity. For example: transportation, running, hiking, swimming, or other physical activity.
- Required Information. Please make sure that the participant has provided all required information, initialed each of the applicable paragraphs, and signed and dated the release.
- Two-Page Standard Releases. If the standard release is two pages, please copy it so that it appears on the front and back of a single piece of paper. If you do not have that capability, please securely staple both pages of the release together.
- Minors Cannot Execute Releases. The standard releases must be signed by an individual who is eighteen (18) years of age or older or his/her parent or legal guardian must execute the release on his/her behalf. The minor must secure the signature of a parent or legal guardian prior to participation in the activity.
- Customized Release. If any of the standard releases below do not meet the needs of the activity, please contact the Office of the General Counsel and we will prepare a release that specifically addresses the needs of your activity. (Please do not alter the existing Releases to attempt to make them address your specific activity.)
- Retain the Executed Releases. The executed releases must be retained for a period of four (4) years from the date of the activity.
